I too, am with AuthorHouse. And so far, J.R Harris has told me everything will be paid for, and I won't have to pay a cent. Mind you, it may be a while before and if my book generates any royalties that it would climb out of the advance that I recieved and all of the costs for publishing and such. But as far as literary agents go, search on Yahoo for literary agents. You'll see "The Writers league" or something to that effect, in there are many many agents in alphabetical order (I think there are like 50 for sci-fi) Only problem is, they only accept unsolicited manuscripts... And as a friendly suggestion, don't pay an agent to read your work, (for some companies, that's how they make their money) Any good agent will read it for free, and will take percentages off from anywhere between 11% to 25%. Hope this helps
